I'd check/troubleshoot your T-1 connection to the Qcom servers first.
I'm running TS4/DS/Qcom on a 333 celery Win98 box with 150 megs and a 56K
dialup and it runs rock solid 24/7. From what I've heard (and experienced),
Qcom servers can be temperamental with broadband connections (disconnects
and reconnects, etc.) similar to what you've experienced.
